Hi ladies, sorry I havenít contributed at all lately, have been keeping up with you all but Iím a bit shy and what with the drugs Iíve been a bit all over the place.
Had my EC on Monday, 15 eggs, 10 fertilised and Iíve just had a call to say that theyíve not divided as well as they expected, they are a mixture of 5 and 3 cells with only 6 left.
As this is my first time Iím not sure if itís as bad as Iím feeling it is but I think that Iíll be having a 3dt tomorrow. One of my OH comments was that it was only a 40% Chance that it would work..... not massively helpful if Iím honest!
Sorry ladies I just needed to vent to someone who might understand and has been through the process.
I really hope you are all well and everything is looking positive for you all xxxxxx

Hi Lisa - great to hear from you and thatís great numbers! I know itís not easy but try not to panic too much about your embryos, at our recent follow up our consultant took us through our eggs fertilisation and the one that was the best and got us our BFP was actually really behind days 1-4 and suddenly progressed day 5. I canít remember how hold you are but slightly more mature eggs divide at a slower rate initially too.

I know of loads of people who have had success from a 3 day transfer too. The main thing is you still have options!

Hi Lisa, that does sound like great numbers! Let us know how things are today? Did you have your transfer?
The whole process is amazing and it CAN happen first time and itíll blow your mind if it does! Iíve got everything crossed for you. xxxxx

Marnie - how are you feeling? Is it test day tomorrow?

Amy - how are you feeling? Hope youíre doing ok?

Abbie - so good to hear things are looking more positive.

Iím all good! 21 weeks on Friday. Had my scan last week and everything looks good. Still having bump pains from growing but def canít complain!!

Hi Lisa. 6 embryos is a great number. I have my fingers crossed that they do their thing! Day 3 should be 8 cells. So with them being 3 to 5 on day 2 that's a good sign
This group is great for letting off some frustration/asking questions. The drugs and hormones made me feel bad/down to begin with but this group helped me massively... So don't be shy
Hope everything goes well for you this week xx

Hey so I had my scan on Monday.. lining was 7.2. Right ovary had 5 follies between 8 and 12 sizes. Left ovary had 6 follies all at size 8.
If my last cycle was anything to go off then I'm a tiny bit behind on the growth but same count at this point. And with that scan I ended up with 15 follies. 11 collected. 8 were mature enough. 5 fertilised. But only 1 made the cut at 5 day almost blast..... So if this cycle can just give me a tiny bit more maturity then I'll be feeling positive next scan is Saturday 🤞
Every cycle is different so not giving up!

Good morning ladies, just a quick update.... ET went ahead with a grade AB blasto, anything over BB is considered good. We also had 1 to freeze so that was a great relief that we have a back up, the other couple are about 24 hours behind so they are going to assess these tomorrow.
Keeping everything crossed that the little nugget gets nice and cosy and stays put 🤞🏻

Amy hope the scan went well today. Not long to go now. Hope you get lots of eggs.
Deb glad your scan went well 👍🏻It must all be so exciting!
Lisa thatís great news! AB is great and lovely that youíve got a frostie too. Wishing you lots of luck 🤞🏻
Abbie how are you doing?
Not great news with me unfortunately 😥 our transfer failed. Itís been a tough couple of days and I feel really exhausted and my head hurts. I think itís the sudden hormone withdrawal probably. Hopefully AF will show up soon and things can settle a bit. We have to wait until May for our second round which is really frustrating but I really want to have a couple of months off ttc and tracking my cycle. Iím just tired with it all. 3 years of continually thinking about ovulating and timing sex and Iíve had enough. I just want to try to forget it for a while (if that is even possible). Weíll see. Thatís how I feel just now. I also have a little project in my mind which will hopefully help. My fiancť has been amazing. Bless him heís devastated as well and has found this second disappointment really hard but Iím not giving up. Just need a bit of time out I think xxx

Hey
Lisa that's great news!! I hope the rest make it to freeze not be long before test day and i have everything crossed for you

Marnie I'm so sorry it didn't work this time..it is really hard to hear when we've put our bodies through hell and back trying for so long. I understand your frustrations! May feels like so a long way off now but if the first couple of the months of the year are anything to go by...it will be here before you know it. I hope you manage to switch off and just relax over the next couple of months.. I know I did in terms of tracking and timing sex since the last failed attempt. I think with doing it for years..i just mellowed out abit between ivf try 2 and 3.
What's the project you've got in mind. I love doing little projects around the house. My next project will be to gut the garage and put in some units/cupboards and shelving....anything to take my mind off baby making ha! I hope you stay on the forum and keep in touch with us for when you start again in May big hugs!

I had my scan this morning. Have 18 follies between 14 and 19. (1 at 19 and 3 at 18. 2 at 17. 4 at 16) there the ones I'm bothered about. 13 of them being on my right ovary so feeling it abit on that side!!
Abit better than the last cycle having more at 18 and 17 but still only 1 at 19 like last time. I think there all abit on the small side. When I had iui I had sizes at 21 and 23
I have to take my trigger tonight at 10.30pm and go in on Monday morning at 10.15
